Around 70 right-wingers come to the ‘Deutscher Michel, wach endlich auf’ (German Michel, wake up at last) rally. In addition to AfD functionaries, the participants include well-known neo-Nazis such as Bernd Tödter, who had previous convictions for racially motivated crimes, and members of the Aryan Circle Germany Kameradschaft that he founded. Also taking part is Tony E., who, together the Gruppe S., planned assassinations of Muslims, politicians, and anti-fascists and was convicted in 2023 as the ringleader of the right-wing terrorist group.

Around 500 covid deniers gather at an ‘Enough is enough’ rally. In addition to AfD officials, 40 neo-Nazis and hooligans take part, including Thomas ‘Togger’ G. from the ‘Merkel must go’ marches. After the rally, G. comments on a call-to-arms message in a chat group with the post ‘I’ll be there in Hamburg and lots of comrades’.
